Description
In einem üblichen Handelsgeschäft verlassen sich die Balkencodescanner auf Preisinformationen, die in einer Preisnachschlage(PLU)-Datei enthalten sind. Die PLU-Datei ist typischerweise an einer einzigen Stelle in einem Hostserver gespeichert.Leave in a usual trading business the bar code scanners look at price information in a Price Lookups (PLU) file are included. The PLU file is typical stored in a single location in a host server.
Elektronische Preisetikett(ESL)-Systeme enthalten typischerweise eine Mehrzahl von elektronischen Displays, die mit einem zentralen Server gekoppelt sind, wo die Preise für alle Displays geändert werden können.Electronic price label (ESL) systems included typically a plurality of electronic displays using a central server where prices for all displays are coupled be changed can.
Bei einer typischen Installation wird jedem PLU-Artikel in dem Geschäft ein elektronisches Regaletikett zugeordnet. Entscheidungen bezüglich der ESL-Zuordnungen werden typischerweise vom Ladenpersonal getroffen. Das von diesem Personal derzeit durchgeführte Verfahren umfasst ein periodisches Einscannen der Artikel im Laden mit einem Handscanner und manuelles Aufzeichnen, ob eine Preisänderung aufgetreten ist. Das Ladenpersonal durchsucht die von Hand ermittelten Statistiken und bestimmt ESL-Zuordnungen. Dieses Verfahren ist kostspielig und zeitaufwendig.In a typical installation Each PLU item in the store will have an electronic shelf label assigned. Decisions regarding of the ESL assignments are typically made by shop personnel. The process currently performed by this staff includes one periodic scanning of the articles in the store with a hand scanner and manually recording whether a price change has occurred. The Shop staff searches and determines the statistics determined by hand ESL assignments. This process is expensive and time consuming.
Es wäre daher wünschenswert, ein Verfahren zur Zuordnung elektronischer Regaletiketten zu PLU-Dateiartikeln zu haben, welches Entscheidungen seitens des Ladenpersonals minimal macht und die Hinwendung des Geschäfts zu Investitionen in das elektronische Regaletikettensystem maximal macht.It would therefore be desirable to have a procedure for assigning electronic shelf labels to PLU file items to have what decisions by the store staff minimal power and turning the business to invest in that electronic shelf label system makes maximum.
In der EP-A-0568180 ist die Verwendung eines Regaletikettensystems zur Verbesserung der Effizienz des üblichen Produkt- Controller-Verfahrens in einem Ladengeschäft beschrieben. Zu prüfende Produktpreiskontrolllisten werden auf eine solche Weise erzeugt, dass die Produkte in einer speziellen Liste räumlich aufeinanderfolgen. Dies ermöglicht die Lokalisierung des zu überprüfenden Produkts durch den Prüfenden.The use is in EP-A-0568180 a shelf label system to improve the efficiency of the usual Product controller process in a retail store described. To be checked Product price control lists are generated in such a way that the products follow each other spatially in a special list. This allows the location of the product to be checked by the examiner.
Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in der Schaffung eines Verfahrens zur Zuordnung elektronischer Ladenetiketten zu Preisnachschlageposten, welches Entscheidungen seitens des Ladenpersonals bezüglich der ESL-Zuordnungen minimal macht.An object of the invention is in the creation of a process for assigning electronic shop labels to price reference items, which decisions by shop personnel in terms of that minimizes ESL assignments.
Gemäß einem Gesichtspunkt der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Zuordnung elektronischer Regaletiketten zu Warenposten bzw. Artikeln innerhalb einer Preisnachschlagetabelle vorgesehen, welches sich durch die Schritte auszeichnet: Bestimmung einer Preisänderungshäufigkeit für jeden Handelsartikel mit Hilfe eines Computers, Vorsehen einer festen Anzahl von elektronischen Regaletiketten und Zuordnung der elektronischen Regaletiketten zu Artikeln, in der Reihenfolge der Preisänderungshäufigkeit, beginnend mit der größten Preisänderungshäufigkeit, bis die elektronischen Regaletiketten vom Computer aufgebraucht sind.According to one aspect of the invention a procedure for assigning electronic shelf labels to items or articles are provided in a price look-up table, which is characterized by the steps: determination of a frequency of price changes for each Commercial items using a computer, providing a fixed number of electronic shelf labels and assignment of electronic Shelf labels for articles, in the order of the frequency of price changes, starting with the greatest frequency of price changes until the electronic shelf labels have been used up by the computer.
Bei einer Ausführungsform können die Handelsartikel in eine Mehrzahl von Gruppen klassifiziert werden, und mit Hilfe des Computers werden die elektronischen Regaletiketten Gruppen zugeordnet, die Artikel enthalten, deren Preisänderungshäufigkeit größer als eine vorbestimmte minimale Preisänderungshäufigkeit ist.In one embodiment, the Merchandise can be classified into a plurality of groups and with the help of the computer the electronic shelf labels Assigned to groups that contain articles whose price change frequency is greater than a predetermined minimum price change frequency is.
Es seien nun Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen erläutert. Es zeigen:There are now embodiments of the invention explained with the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Ein zweites Verfahren nimmt an, dass die PLU-Dateiartikel nur dann ESL's zugeordnet werden, wenn ihre Preisänderungshäufigkeit eine vorbestimmte minimale Preisänderungshäufigkeit überschreitet. Wenn alle PLU-Dateiposten Preisänderungshäufigkeiten haben, dann werden auch alle PLU-Dateiposten ESL's zugeordnet. Bei diesem Verfahren wird angenommen, dass die Erfassung eines bestimmten Prozentsatzes von Preisänderungen erwünscht ist.A second procedure assumes that The PLU file items are only assigned to ESL's if their price change frequency exceeds a predetermined minimum price change frequency. If all PLU file items price change frequencies then all PLU file items are assigned to ESLs. With this procedure assumed that the capture of a certain percentage of Price changes he wishes is.

Der Effekt der Sortierung in Gruppen setzt voraus, dass alle PLU-Dateiposten innerhalb der identifizierten Gruppen ESL's zugeordnet werden. Die Gruppen können primär aufgrund früherer Preisänderungshäufigkeitsinformationen identifiziert werden, welche Gruppen der PLU-Dateiposten mit den höchsten Preisänderungshäufigkeiten wiedergeben.The effect of sorting in groups presupposes that all PLU file items within the identified groups are assigned to ESLs. The groups can be identified primarily based on previous price change frequency information, which groups of the PLU file items with the reflect the highest frequency of price changes.
Diese Sortierung setzt ferner voraus, dass es viele ESL's gibt, welche den PLU-Dateiposten innerhalb aller identifizierten Gruppen zuzuordnen sind. In Fällen, wo die PLU-Dateiposten gruppiert worden sind, es aber nicht genügend ESL's zum Zuordnen gibt, kann dasselbe Verfahren für die Rangfolgenbildung einzelner PLU-Dateiposten benutzt werden, um eine Rangfolge von Gruppen von PLU-Dateiposten zu bilden. Das heißt, eine Möglichkeit, Gruppen in einer Rangfolge zu bringen, würde darin bestehen, den Mittelwert der Preisänderungshäufigkeit jeder Gruppe zu bestimmen und ESL's zuzuordnen, wobei mit der Gruppe mit dem höchsten Mittelwert begonnen wird.This sorting also requires that there are many ESL's which is the PLU file item within all identified Can be assigned to groups. In cases where the PLU file items have been grouped but there are not enough ESLs to map, can do the same procedure for the ranking of individual PLU file items is used, to rank groups of PLU file items. The is called, a possibility, Ranking groups would consist of the mean the frequency of price changes to determine each group and assign ESL's, with the group with the highest Average is started.
